Well , it looks like after 8 years on the Kolblist I'm going to have to

block them from my email. These 10 minute downloads of pics are too long for

my dial up. This last one should have been sent bc.

I agree, that was totally inconsiderate by sending such a large  file.

I doubt whether ill intentions were at heart in those photo attachments.

There are those of us who are not that savvy regarding pixels and photo 

sizing.

-Myself included.  I thought resizing would be enough but Lar informed 

me

otherwise.  In the future I will try to economize.

Meanwhile, if you don't want to tie up your machine you could read the

messages from the website.

like everything else, sometimes extra features have a downside.

You know, I can't believe that someone on this list thoughtful enough to  share some pictures with everyone and you or anyone else has the gall to call  them inconsiderate.  

Are you the last two guys on the planet with dial up?  

If you can afford an airplane you can certainly afford to upgrade from  twentieth century technology. 

do not archive

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Well isn't this interesting!

  

 While I'm the one who put out the request for a "wanted fly" 

 and am not responsible for the "large" pictures.

  

 In support of the person who sent the pictures to me... and all of you let  you give you my view:

  

 I appreciated the pictures

 I'm excited about the Firefly and ultralights

 I am a private SE Seaplane pilot myself

 My interest in ultralights is 10+ years old

  

 So now the question that jumps out...

 while sending large files is annoying

  

 Is it better to gather a new to ultralight pilot like myself

  or to complain about your personal internet connection on a site  dedicated to the furtherance of the future of ultralights.

  

 It would be a shame for anyone to discontinue their Kolb digest  subscription because their computer is slow.

  

 Looking forward to seeing you all

Chris,

         Whoa, there!  Who said it's even  available in their area?  I moved from the city to the country, from DSL to  dial-up.  Our only phone provider, Verizon, won't upgrade.

  

         And if someone's savvy enough to  operate a digital camera and post pics to the 'Interweb', they should be able to  resize to 640 x 480 with ease.  I and many others would appreciate it  !

I can't believe you didn't read what I wrote. I did not say it was  inconsiderate sharing some pictures. I enjoy looking at pictures posted on the  list.  What I said was it is inconsiderate for someone not to take time to  reduce the picture size. Anyone with twentieth century technology can sure learn  how to resize pictures.

  

 You know, I can't believe you didn't read the rules about posting  enclosures, here they are again for your education and pay attention this  time.

  

 <snip>

 Here are some rules for posting enclosures by Matt.  Failure to  abide by these rules could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address  from the Lists.



1)    Pay attention to what you are  posting!!  Make sure that the files

    you are enclosing  aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB).  Remember that there

    are  still people checking they're email via dial up modem.  If you  post

    30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary  burden on these

    folks and the rest of us, for that  matter.

Hard to say. You might end up being  another............ I do think it's better to familiarize ourselves with  the guidelines of posting and understand them before posting. There are a  lot of people that read this list and many have slow dial up internet service on  their giggle hz computers. The action of posting a larger than suggested  file  would suggest a lack of regard for, or ignorance of,  the guidelines about posting such files. Lack of consideration if you  will. Matt has posted the guidelines clearly for all to see any  time  they feel they need to . They are good, workable, well thought  out guidelines that can keep the list running smoothly, and with  civility.

   I'm on the road, downloading on a dail up modem at a screaming 

40kbps.



1.5 mb takes quite a while to download.



At home, my RR cable modem screams.



Agree, not that hard to reduce the size of pics prior to posting.



Thanks in advance,

Some of us live in the country and no choice. I live out in the boonies and  fly from my own strip. 

 Dial up only option.
